iexplore.exe

Process.Start(“IExplore.exe”); <— Is this reliable?

Process.Start('IExplore.exe');

Does this always work, on every machine ? If not, how to do it properly ?

... EDIT: .................................

The problem with Process.Start('http://www.example.com/'); is that we have to target a local html file, with some querystring specifying which page to load in the html frameset.So our URL looks like the following:

G:PathToHelpFolderindex.html#search?page=1.html

If you pass this path to Process.Start, an error is generated: 'cannot find the file'. This is caused by the querystring at the end. (#search?page=1.html)

So, we have to start explorer (or default browser would be better) with the filepath as a command line argument. We found the method above at the MSDN documentation. (Process.Start('IExplore.exe');) Our only question is if this method is reliable enough to deploy to a commercial app. Mono isn't a problem, only windows systems are targeted.

... EDIT : Our solution ......

Our solution was to get the default browser from the registry, and start that with the filename as argument. (as stated in: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2646825/launching-default-browser-with-html-from-file-then-jump-to-specific-anchor/2646944#2646944)

I need to launch IE and set the affinity to a particular single CPU.When running the following c# code, as expected notepad.exe is started and has it's affinity set to just cpu2, strangely iexplore.exe is started with its affinity set to just cpu0. No matter what I set ProcessorAffinity to iexplore.exe always goes to cpu0.

I have tested this on 4 core xp 32 bit and 4 core 2008 64 bit, both IE8.

I have a strange issue with opening IE (8), on Server 2008 R2, I execute the process (try to open a web-site in a browser) and I can see it in the Task Manager, but it's not visible on the Taskbar or anywhere on the desktop.It is especially annoying since I use this server for developing a website.

It is the same if I open several IE processes, they are running (as seen in the taskbar) but are not visible.

After Restart of the server is usually works for a while till it starts

I think there's no definite answer so how would you approach debugging this problem?:

My main app (a MicroStation plugin) launces IE using the SHDocVw.InternetExplorer COM wrapper, interacts with it, hides it when it is not used (e.g. intercepts when the user closes the window and sets InternetExplorer.Visible to false).

When the main app is closed the plugin closes IE by calling InternetExplorer.Quit but the iexplore process is left running (the IE is hidden at the moment the ma

i have a strange problem with IE8 installed in xp. i was trying to launch IE using an System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method in c#. And i have a requirement to trap the exited event of the IE and do some operation. But i ended up in a rather strange problem where the IE immediately fires the exited event after launch.

I'm making a firebreath based plugin which adds two integers.I'm debugging the plugin by attaching the source to the browser. I'm getting the above exception at this step of my PLUGINAPI.cppI have created and built the dll of the wrapper and the c# id libraries. it's working..added the project references of these to my firebreath api project.In PLUGINAPI project>>

I used ShellExecuteEx to call iexplore.exe, Whenever I start the application a new instance of internet explorer is created irrespective of, internet explorer already opened or not.

I want to change this, if already an instance of the Internet explorer is there, I need to open a new tab in that instance with the address I am passing to the ShExecInfo.lpParameters, thus without creating a new window. Is there a way to do this? Please advice..

I need to run several instances of a Ruby script that's using the Watir gem, and they all need to be able to run in IE fullscreen mode.

CLARIFICATION: They need to be able to open IE in a mode that allows multiple instances of IE to operate in full screen mode, not necessarily trigger the fullscreen. Opening up IE normally allows only a single instance to open fullscreen (not maximized).

I can make this happen manually, by specifying the '-f' parameter on iexplore.exe. Is there

I tried this with ping, xcopy and other files in my path like a helloWorld.bat or git.exe. Every command works as long as I append it's file extension, but whenever I omit the extension I get a 'command is not recognized' error. This is not a big problem now, but it's still kinda annoying.

I want to make a textbox similar in function to the search textbox in the windows 7 start menu.When I search for something in the windows 7 start menu, the process searchindexer.exe runs.So you would think that is what I have to run in my program. But when I run it, nothing happens.

Someone said to use the Windows API Code Pack for .NET Framework as that provides API hooks for usingthe existing Windows Search inside my own applications. Sounds like that is what I want. Can som

I'm working on a program ('A') which uses ShellExecuteEx to call another program ('B') that occasionally crashes. Program A can detect crash of B, and can kill B using TerminateProcess.

However, when B crashes (and before A has terminated it), up pops Windows' 'Program B has stopped working' dialog (WerFault.exe). So although A can kill B, that leaves behind an instance of WerFault.exe each time B fails.

I thought I might have some joy by using the WER api to invoke WerAddExcludedA

After installing new theme from Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/hr-HR/windows/downloads/snowflakes-and-frost-theme) my Windows 7 lost all its transparency (Aero) effects and placed Windows Basic as the actual theme.I've been googling for my problem for an hour now and I have not found any solutions. All my attempts to fix this issue have failed.

I've tried running the standard wizard for for fixing transparency problems and I got a response:Desktop Window Manager i

I have an application with version no: 1.0.1, which is an upgrade to the older version 1.0.0.

When I try to install the new version 1.0.1, when my system already has the older version 1.0.0 installed, I am getting the error 2869.

But if I uninstall the older version manually & than try to install the newer version, then it installs successfuly. It dawned on me that this error is due to some exception in custom action. And hence I executed the following command
